Debt Roll-up, or the “snowball” method, is a systematic approach of paying more than the minimum. As soon as the first balance is paid off, the freed-up payment amount is used to pay down the next debt even faster. As each debt is paid off, money continues to "roll-up" to the next bigger debt.
To use this calculator:
1) Enter your debts in order from SMALLEST to LARGEST balance.
2) Each entry requires current balance, interest rate, monthly payment amount, and interest cost.
3) The interest cost and the number of payments left will be automatically calculated.
4) You may also include an additional monthly amount to add to your initial payment.
Press "Calculate Results" to show both current and Debt Roll-up totals and savings.
